Zhang Huaisheng killed and treated him like a father like a teacher of the Ministry of Justice, Zhao Huai, a capital city in an uproar, he is crazy or stupid? Everyone tried their best to save him, but he just refused to get out of jail, because this is the key step to taking down Wei Zhongxian ......

A madness

In August of the seventh year of Tianqi, the then twenty-three-year-old Emperor Zhu Yucheng died. The same month, eighteen-year-old King Zhu Yuqian reign, the last monarch of the Ming Dynasty - Chongzhen.

In the Ministry of Justice, Zhang Huaisheng, together with two subordinates, Liu Qing and Yan Sen, drank wine and looked more and more depressed. Liu Qing a few glasses of old wine down, mouth gradually no gate: "Lord, are you still can not let go of Liu Yan'er? To say that you are a person, everything is good but indecisive, want her to go directly to find is."

Zhang Huaisheng shook his head and before he could say anything, Yan Sen interjected, "I think, Lord Zhang is worried about the affairs of the country. The new emperor took office and immediately claimed to be sick, and did not attend the morning court. Now the courtiers who want to pass a medal, have to go through Wei Zhongxian and his gang of eunuchs. Now Wei Zhongxian bullying the son of the emperor is young, become a single hand covering the sky. He wants to ascend to the ninth five, is not--"

"Shut up!" Zhang Huaisheng bellowed, "Do not deliberate the imperial government." Although the words, Zhang Huaisheng heart but know that this is good. The emperor is eighteen years old, which comes from the disease. Most likely by Wei Zhongxian hostage. Palace eunuchs, East and West, the two factories, the Jingyiwei are Wei's people, although there are Zhao Huai as the backbone of the courtiers on his side, only to maintain the surface balance, although the intention to get rid of the thieves, the heart has more than enough power, right.

The autumn breeze is picking up, blowing leaves all over the court. Zhang Huaisheng picked up his wine cup and took a sip before saying, "There is no banquet that does not end. The two of you should not call me Lord Zhang in the future, just call me Brother Zhang. Liu Qing, you are wise and upright by nature, so you can take up this post." Liu Qing's faces were full of consternation, and about to ask questions, Zhang Huaisheng and Yan Sen said: "Old Yan you face cold heart hot, talent is still above the old Liu, but killed the gold ambassador, once revealed is the disaster of the family. You'd better go back to your hometown and guard your parents' graves for three years. Every holiday season, I see you always cry when you sacrifice your parents, it seems that you can not let go of the anatomy of the biological parents, now, it is time to close the knot."

Now Yan Sen also froze, drinking wine for a good reason how to say the words to break up? He stood up to ask questions, Zhang Huaisheng has already thrown away a glass of wine and stumbled out.

Yan Sen and Liu Qing looked at each other and sat down, still puzzled, and the wine became more and more unpalatable. The Youji (5:00-7:00 p.m.) has just arrived, the two heard a cry of misery at the same time "ah ......" the voice tone is old, it seems to be from the Ministry of Punishment, Zhao Huai's room!

Two people got up at the same time, a leap to run to the place where the cry was issued. When they came to the door of Zhao Huai's room, they saw that the door was tightly closed, and they were hesitant to push the door in, when they saw Zhao Huai's old servant, Zhao She, coming from the back of the room, covering his arm with one hand while asking, "What are you two doing here?"

Liu Qing said urgently, "We are afraid that something will happen to Lord Zhao, so we rushed here." Zhao, said, "Lord Zhao is inside, let's go in and see." He knocked on the door first, and when no one answered, he pushed the door in. This pushes the door, the three people almost at the same time, Zhao Huai covered in blood lying crookedly next to the bench, Zhang Huai Sheng's hand holding a blood-stained sword, standing dumbly.

Did Zhang Huaisheng kill Lord Zhao, who treated him like his own son? Liu Qing asked incoherently, "Did you kill Lord Zhao? Why?" The cold sweat on Yan Sen's head was rising: "No, I know, Lord Zhao was killed by someone else, you just picked up the sword to check the murder weapon, right? You quickly nod your head, Lord Zhang, Lord Zhang!"

Zhang Huaisheng's eyes were full of bewilderment, and only after hearing the two men's words did he suddenly wake up as if suddenly waking up and suddenly swinging his sharp sword towards the three men to kill them! The three men were terrified and retreated in a panic. Zhang Huaisheng immediately closed the door of the room, stayed inside, and did not come out.

Liu Qing looked at Yan Sen, only to see that the other party's face was as pale as dirt, and he was trembling uncontrollably. What's going on? How could Zhang Huai Sheng raise his sword, first killing Zhao Huai, and now drawing his sword on the two of them? Liu Qing muttered, "Lord Zhang should be crazy, he must have missed Liu Yan'er excessively and later worried about the affairs of the country before ......"

After all, Yan Sen was much calmer: "According to the regulations, it needs to be reported immediately to Lord Zhou Yingqiu, the Minister of Penalty, and Sheriff Chen of Shuntian Prefecture, who is responsible for local security. But then, things will be irreparable." He turned to the old servant Zhao She said, "Old man, Lord Zhang treats Lord Zhao Huai like his father, there is no reason to kill him, there must be something fishy, can you hold off on reporting to the authorities, let us investigate first? Otherwise, once Sheriff Chen and his men come, the matter will be irreversible."
